"Repos Pendant La Moisson" (Rest During the Harvest) is a notable painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, created in 1882. This work is exemplary of Lhermitte's dedication to depicting rural life and labor with a sense of authenticity and empathy. The painting measures 81 x 100 cm and is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Reims in Reims, France.

In "Repos Pendant La Moisson," Lhermitte captures the essence of the French countryside during the harvest season. The composition portrays a group of weary farm laborers taking a brief respite from their arduous work under the summer sun. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the realistic portrayal of the figures and the landscape, conveys both the physical toll of the harvest and the momentary peace of the break.

Lhermitte's work is often compared to that of Jean-François Millet, another French artist known for his depictions of peasant life. However, Lhermitte distinguished himself with a unique approach to realism, characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to portraying the dignity of his subjects. "Repos Pendant La Moisson" is a prime example of Lhermitte's skill in capturing the daily life of the rural working class, a theme that resonated with the social and cultural milieu of the late 19th century.

The painting is celebrated for its technical proficiency and its humanistic portrayal of the rural proletariat. It remains an important work within Lhermitte's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of the Realist movement in art, which sought to depict subjects truthfully, without idealization or romantic embellishment. "Repos Pendant La Moisson" continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and its evocative representation of a bygone era of French agricultural life.
